I didn't quantify that soldiers have to follow orders with the statement "except when they are ordered to mass murder innocent civilians", because I didn't think I had to.
But our soldiers are not being ordered to mass murder civilians, they are being ordered to the front. Big big difference.

I am not 100% sure, as I have never been in the military, but maybe someone who has or is in the military can answer the question. If your CO orders you or your unit to do something you feel as being morally unjust (ie: knowing murder innocent civilians etc), do you have the right to disobey that order?
